nc_cooter Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's been so hot the last few days, I have only been able to work in the shop for about 2 hours each morning. Drinking lots of water and sweating like crazy. My wife said it looked like I peed myself. At my age, who knows. Here's a pic of what the sweating was all about.

MRobb Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Thay look real good so far! Keep us posted. Looking forward to seeing the end result. I know what you mean about the heat (and humidity). Makes it hard sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devins Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Well one thing a bout it if producing that kind of work doesn't make you feel young it ought to at least make you feel good. I look forward to seeing the progress too. Its hot hear too but I can't get myself to go out and even try yet. I keep saying I would burn the house down or something like that but that sweat and wet thing is probably more like it. Thankfully triple digits will be over before too long. And are those from the new post anvil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecart Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah, I did a couple of hour of forging and filing yesterday. The heat and humidity was terrible. Hopefully I'll have something to show for it. NC, I gotta arrange a time to get down that way. I'd love to get some pointers from you. Those look really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_cooter Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Thanks MRobb devins, yes I forged these on the post anvil. I really like it. CBrann, round here you can just sit still and break a sweat. Eric, I hope you can find a way to make the trip for a visit. I learn something new every time and I'll be glad to share.

nc_cooter Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 I wasn't happy with the shape of the large bowie blade I forged earlier this week. Went back to the forge this morning and did a little rework. The top one is after rework and the bottom one is before. What do ya'll think?

Ecart Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think it looks better. It was nice before, but with the point dropping that way, it is more pleasing to my eye anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
